2008년부터 A형 간염 환자들이 급속히 증가하고 본원에 내원하여 건진을 받는 대부분의 수검자들이 A형 간염(IgG) 항체 생성 유무에 관심이 많아지며 검사 건수가 증가하였다. 그에 따라 항체 검사결과가 cut-off값에 걸리는 검체가 많아져 원인을 분석하였더니 대부분 A형 간염 예방접종을 한 수검자들이었다. 이에 저자들은 건강증진센터에서 설문조사를 통하여 자연면역을 획득한 수검자들 그룹과 본원에서 A형 간염 예방접종(1차, 2차)을 실시한 직원들 그룹으로 나누어 검사를 시행하였고 cut-off값을 기준으로 항체 생성률과 그에 대한 역가를 비교하고 진단검사의학과와 핵의학과에서 사용하는 진단 시약간에 항체 생성률과 그에 대한 역가를 비교해 보고자 했고, 2012년 8월 한 달 동안 건진 수검자 185명을 설문조사하여 자연면역을 획득한 119명과 본원에서 예방 접종을 실시한 직원들을 대상으로 1차 접종자 53명, 2차 접종자 59명으로 대상을 분류했다. 항체 생성률은 cut-off값 1을 기준했을 때 0.90-1.10 (${\pm}$), 0.60-0.89 (1+), 0.30-0.59 (2+), 0.01-0.29 (3+)로 나누어 역가를 비교하고, 같은 기준으로 제조사별 백신 접종 후 항체 생성률에 대한 역가를 비교평가 해 보았다. 그 결과, 건진 수검자 중 자연 면역을 획득한 수검자는 cut-off값 1을 기준했을 때, 0.90-1.10 (${\pm}$)가 0%, 0.60-0.89 (1+)가 0%, 0.30-0.59 (2+)가 4.2%, 0.01-0.29 (3+)가 96%로 역가가 <0.60 ($${\geq_-}2+$$)가 100%였다. 그리고 예방접종을 실시한 직원들의 항체 생성률은 1차 접종자 중 ${\pm}$가 59.1%, 1+가 18.1%, 2+가 18.1%, 3+가 4.6%로 총 45.3%였고, 역가는 $${\geq_-}$$ 0.60 ($${\leq_-}1+$$)가 77.3%였다. 2차 접종자의 항체 생성률은 ${\pm}$가 1.9%, 1+가 15.4%, 2+가 36.54%, 3+가 46.2%로 총 88.1%였고 역가는 <0.60 ($${\geq_-}2+$$) 82.7%가 였다. 또한 제조사별로 비교 하였을 때 1차 접종자의 항체 생성률은 BNIBT 20.8% (${\pm}24.5%$), GB 15.7% (${\pm}7.8%$), RIAKEY 94.3% (${\pm}3.8%$), ROCHE 83% (${\pm}0%$), Abbot 73.1% (${\pm}5.8%$)였고, 2차 접종자의 항체 생성률은 BNIBT 86.4% (${\pm}1.7%$), GB 88.5% (${\pm}1.9%$), RIAKEY 100% (${\pm}0%$), ROCHE 98.3% (${\pm}0%$), Abbot 98.2% (${\pm}0%$)였다. 즉 자연면역 항체가 예방접종에 의한 항체보다 역가가 높다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 1차 접종 후 보다는 2차 접종 후 검사를 시행했을 때 항체 생성률과 역가가 대부분 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 결과 보고시 negative, index (${\pm}$), weak positive (1+), positive (2+), strong positive (3+)로 역가를 나누어 보고를 하거나 결과값에 index값을 같이 적어서 결과를 상세히 보고한다면 과거결과와 비교도 가능할 것이다. 또 제조사별 비교 시 1차 예방접종 후의 항체 생성률과 역가에서 시약간에 많은 차이를 보이고 있었고, 매년 예방 접종률이 높아지고 있는 시점에서 이러한 차이를 줄이기 위해서 각 제조사들은 민감도나 재현성에 더 주의를 기울여야 하겠고, 자연면역항체와 예방접종을 통한 항체간에 생길 수 있는 미지의 차이를 감안하여 검사자들이 사용하는 시약을 신뢰할 수 있도록 더 연구하고 개발해야 할 것이다. Purpose: Since 2008, hepatitis A patients was rapidly increasing. So, Most of the health checkup examinees were interested in whether hepatitis A antibody was a lot. thereby The number of tests was increasing. In recent years, Antibody test results in the range of cut-off values were increased. According to the cause analysis, most examinees had a hepatitis A vaccine. This study was conducted to classify hepatitis A antibody as natural antibody and antibody after vaccination and compared the titer for seroconversion rate based on cut-off values. Materials and Methods: For a month in August 2012, First, We surveyed 185 health examinees and classified 119 health examinees who had acquired natural antibody. Second, for employees who were inoculated against hepatitis at our hospital, We classified into 53 primary inoculators and 59 secondary inculators. when the standard of cut-off value was 1, The seroconversion rate was compared the titer divided by 0.90-1.10 (${\pm}$), 0.60-0,89 (1+), 0.30-0.59 (2+), 0.01-0.29 (3+) and we compared the titer for seroconversion rate by each manufacturer after vaccination. Results: When the standard of cut-off value was 1, the titer of 119 health examinees who had acquired natural antibody was 0.90-1.10 (${\pm}$): 0%, 0.60-0.89 (1+): 0%, 0.30-0.59 (2+): 4.2%, 0.01-0.29 (3+): 96% and the titer of <0.60 ($${\geq_-}2+$$) was 100%. The titer of 53 primary inoculators was 0.90-1.10 (${\pm}:59.1%$), 0.60-0.89 (1+): 18.1%, 0.30-0.59 (2+): 18.1%, 0.01-0.29 (3+): 4.6% and the seroconversion rate was 45.3%. The titer of $${\geq_-}0.60$$ ($${\leq_-}1+$$) was 77.3%. The titer of 59 secondary inoculators was 0.90-1.10 (${\pm}:1.9%$), 0.60-0.89 (1+): 15.4%, 0.30-0.59 (2+): 36.54%, 0.01-0.29 (3+): 46.2% and the seroconversion rate was 88.1%. The titer of <0.60 ($${\geq_-}2+$$) was 82.7%. When we compared the titer for seroconversion rate by each manufacturer after vaccination, the seroconversion rate of 53 primary inoculators was BNIBT: 20.8% (${\pm}:24.5%$), GB: 15.7% (${\pm}:7.8%$), RIAKEY: 94.3% (${\pm}:3.8%$), ROCHE: 83% (${\pm}:0%$), ABBOTT: 73.1% (${\pm}:5.8%$) and the seroconversion rate of 59 secondary inoculators was BNIBT : 86.4% (${\pm}:1.7%$), GB: 88.5% (${\pm}:1.9%$), RIAKEY: 100% (${\pm}:0%$), ROCHE: 98.3% (${\pm}:0%$), ABBOTT: 98.2% (${\pm}:0%$). Conclusion: The study show that the titer of natural immune antibodies is higher than the titer of vaccination and the titer of secondary inoculation is mainly higher than the titer of primary inoculation. Consequently, if we know the titer of hepatitis A antibodies, it will help to give resullt reports. And then, when we compared the titer and the seroconversion rate by each manufacturer, There was a very distinct difference. As the test subjects inoculate against hepatitis A (HAV), it is considered BNIBT, GB will occur false negative rate and RIAKEY, ROCHE, ABOTT will occur false positive rate.

본 연구는 HPLC를 이용하여 청가시덩굴 추출물을 개별인정형 건강기능식품의 기능성 원료로 개발하기 위한 원료 표준화의 일환으로, 청가시덩굴 추출물의 지표성분을 resveratrol과 trans-scirpusin A로 설정하고 이에 대한 HPLC 분석법을 확립하여 유효성의 검증을 실시하였다. 분석법 유효성 검증은 특이성, 직선성, 정확도, 정밀도, 검출한계 및 정량한계 등을 통해 분석법의 신뢰성을 검증하였으며, 그 결과 표준용액과 청가시덩굴 추출물 간의 HPLC 크로마토그램 및 UV spectrum의 일치 여부 등의 비교를 통해 다른 물질과 간섭 없이 피크가 분리된 것으로 특이성을 확인하였다. 또한 표준용액 검량선의 상관계수(R²)는 0.9999로 매우 우수한 직선성으로 관찰되어 분석에 적합한 것으로 확인되었으며, 검량선의 기울기 및 표준편차를 이용한 검출한계는 resveratrol이 0.98 μg/mL, trans-scirpusin A는 0.49 μg/mL였고 정량한계는 resveratrol이 2.98 μg/mL, trans-scirpusin A는 1.48 μg/mL로 각각 확인되었다. 청가시덩굴 추출물에 표준물질을 3개 농도 첨가하고 분석한 회수율은 resveratrol이 98.77~99.24%, trans-scirpusin A는 98.45~99.45%로 나타나 정확성이 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 청가시덩굴 추출물의 조제 농도 2.2, 4.4 및 6.6 mg/mL에서 반복성은 resveratrol이 0.99~1.22%, trans-scirpusin A는 1.12~1.32%를, 실험실 내 정밀성에서는 일내 정밀성은 resveratrol이 0.67~0.87%, trans-scirpusin A는 1.18~1.33%로 나타났고 일간 정밀성은 resveratrol이 0.93~1.22%, trans-scirpusin A는 1.33~2.27%로 확인되어 본 분석법은 정밀성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 분석결과를 통해 확립된 청가시덩굴 추출물의 지표성분인 resveratrol과 trans-scirpusin A의 HPLC 분석법은 적합한 시험법으로 검증되었으며, 본 시험법은 향후 청가시덩굴 추출물의 건강기능식품 기능성 원료 개발과 표준화를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 사료된다. This study was undertaken to establish an analytical method using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HPLC for the standard determination of resveratrol and trans-scirpusin A as functional ingredients in Smilax sieboldii extract. We evaluated the specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of various analytical methods for detecting resveratrol and trans-scirpusin A using HPLC. The specificity was confirmed by the chromatogram obtained using the HPLC analytical method. Also, the results of UV and the coefficient of correlation (R²) obtained was 0.999, which confirmed that this was a suitable analysis with high linearity. The LOD was 0.98, 0.49 μg/mL, and LOQ was 2.98, 1.48 μg/mL, which was confirmed as a suitable limit level for the analysis of resveratrol and trans-scirpusin A content in the S. sieboldii extract. The recovery of resveratrol and trans-scirpusin A content was determined to be 98.77±0.73∼99.24±1.47% and 98.45±1.18∼99.45±1.66%, respectively, indicating high accuracy. The intra-day repeatability and the intra-laboratory precision of the daily repetition were confirmed to be 0.67∼0.87%, 1.18∼1.33% and 0.93∼1.22%, 1.33∼2.27%, respectively, for trans-scirpusin A, for the relative standard deviation. These results indicate that the reported HPLC method is simple, reliable, and reproducible for the detection of resveratrol and trans-scirpusin A in S. sieboldii extract.

Synthesis of Novel Apio Carbocyclic Nucleoside Analogues as Selective A_(3) Adenosine Receptor Agonists

Hwang, Ki-Jun,Chun, Moon-Woo,Jacobson, Kenneth A.,Jeong, Lak-Shin,Lee, Jeong-A,Moon, Hyung-Ryong,Kim, Hea-Ok,Kim, Kyung-Ran,Lee, Kang-Man,Kim, Bum-Tae 이화여자대학교 약학연구소 2005 藥學硏究論文集 Vol.- No.16

On the basis of the biological activity of neplanocin A and apio-dideoxyadenosine (apio-ddA), novel apio-neplanocin A analogues 5a- d, combining the properties of two nucleosides, were stereoselectively synthesized. The apio moiety of the target nucleosides 5a-d was stereoselectively introduced by treating· lactol 10 with 37% formaldehyde in the presence of potassium carbonate. The carbasugar moiety of neplanocin A was successively built by exposing diene 12 on a Grubbs catalyst in methylene chloride. The final nucleosides 5a-d were synthesized from the condensation of the glycosyl donor 14 with nucleic bases under the standard Mitsunobu conditions. Similarly, apio-aristeromycin 6 and (N)-apio-methanocarbaadenosine 7 were derived from the common intermediate 13 using catalytic hydrogenation and Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation as key steps. All of the final nucleosides 5a-4, 6, and 7 did not show significant inhibitory activity against S-adenosylllolllocysteine hydrolase (SAH) up to 100 ㎛, maybe due to the absence of the secondary hydroxyl group at tile C3'-position, which should be oxidized by cofactor-bound NAD^(+). However, aplo-neplanocin A (5a) showed potent and highly selective binding affinity (K_(i), = 628 ± 69 nM) at the A_(3) adenosine receptor without any binding affinity at the A_(1) and A_(2A) adenosine receptors. In conclusion, we have first developed novel carbocyclic nucleosides with unnatural apio-carbasugarsusing stereoselective hydroxymethylation and RCM reaction and also discovered a new template of human A_(3) adenosine receptor agonist, which play a great rote in developing new A_(3) adenosine receptor agonist as well as in identifying the binding site of the receptor.

인간 혈장 아포지단백질 A-1 ( apo A-1 ) 에 대한 단일클론 항체 생산 및 단일클론 항체를 사용한 혈중 apo A-1 측정용 효소면역분석법 ( ELISAs ) 의 개발

Recently, apolipoprotein(apo) A-I has received considerable clinical attention as a better marker of inverse correlation with the presence of coronary heart disease than the customary lipid marker, high-density lipoprotein(HDL)-cholesterol. Here we report the production of marine monoclonal antibodies(Mabs) designated as MabA 12 and MabA34 against human apo A-I, recognizing the HDL in plasma. From isotyping analyses, it was found that MabA 12 and MabA34 had IgG2b and IgGI isotype, respectively. Both of the Mabs had κ light chains. The binding specificity of two Mabs was analyzed by immunoblotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). MabA12 and MabA34 reacted well with purified apo A-I or HDL in plasma but they didn't react with low-density lipoproteins(LDL), serum albumin or lipoprotein-deficient serum(LPDS). These indicate that the two Mabs are very specific to human apo A-I in HDL. The validity of the Mabs for serum apo A-I assays was examined by two kinds of ELISA, i.e., non-competitive and competitive ELISA. Both assays revealed that MabA12 or MabA34 reacted well with apo A-I in sample in concentration-dependent manners. Standard curves and, antibody titration curves were drawn. In conclusion, two IgG-type monoclonal antibodies specific to human apo A-I in HDL were produced and applicated for ELISAs of serum apo A-I. The two Mabs would be useful not only for research purposes but also for further development of immuno-diagnostic kits for the measurement of serum apo A-I concentrations.

This study evaluated the in vitro and in vivo hypolipidemic effects of the medicinal mushroom Phellinus pini. The methanol extract (ME) of the fruiting body of Ph. pini was active against pancreatic lipase and cholesterol esterase with 99.14% and 67.23% inhibited activity at 1.0 mg/mL, respectively. It also inhibited 81.81% and 55.33% of a-glucosidase and a-amylase activities, respectively, at 2.0mg/mL. Hyperlipidemia as induced by feeding rats with a high fat and cholesterol diet (HFC). HFC supplemented with a 5% fruiting body powder of Ph. pini (HFCþPhP) significantly reduced plasma total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides in rats compared with HFC. The reduced levels were comparable to rats fed the normal control diet (NC). The atherogenic index of HFCþPhP rats was significantly lower than that of the HFC rats. The excretion of fecal total lipid and cholesterol in the HFCþPhP rats was significantly higher than those in the NC and HFC rats. Histopathological examinations demonstrated scant deposition of lipids in the liver of rats fed HFCþPhP. The dietary supplementation with the fruiting body powder provided natural plasma lipid and glucose lowering effects in experimental rats without adverse effects on the plasma biochemical parameters and liver function related enzyme activities. Therefore, the hypolipidemic effects of Ph. pini may be due to the inhibitory effects on pancreatic lipase, cholesterol esterase, a-glucosidase, and a-amylase, and excretion of excess lipids and cholesterol in the feces.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a congenital disorder characterized by malformations of the arteries, capillaries, veins and lymphatic system, surrounding soft tissue and bone hypertrophy. A. Timur et al. (2005) and others have reported that AGGF1 gene causes excessive angiogenesis in KTS. In addition, Fabio C. Vicentini (2006) and others introduced cases involving bladder and vulva. However, there has been no genetic study of KTS patients who have invaded the clitoris. In this study, whole genome sequencing of KTS patients and their families involving vulva were performed to identify KTS - related genes and to confirm genetic variants in KTS. A 26 year old woman visited OBGY clinic for protruding vaginal mass. On examination, the purplish protruding anterior vaginal wall was noted and a 1.5 x 1.5 cm sized clitoral mass was also noted. A sessile type elevated skin lesion causing itching and irritation symptom was noted on both buttock. She had suffered heavy menstrual bleeding and on pelvic MRI, a upward displacement of uterus was noted near umbilicus level. NSAIDs prescribed onthe first 3 days of menstruation decreased the menstrual blood loss upto 40percent. In this study, whole genome sequencing of a KTS patient involving vulva was performed to identify KTS - related genes and to confirm genetic variation. The patient's peripheral blood and a sessile mass around buttock was sampled and whole genome sequencing was performed. Most KTS has known to be a sporadic one, however some genetic variants has been reported.

A microfluidic electrochemical aptasensor for enrichment and detection of bisphenol A.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Bisphenol A (BPA) is an organic monomer used to make common consumer goods such as plastic containers, sports equipment, and cosmetics which are heavily produced worldwide. A growing interest has been drawn to general public as BPA is one of the major endocrine disrupting chemicals threating human health. To date, numerous BPA sensors have been attempted to be developed but important challenges still remained such as limited linearity range, easy to use, and long term response time. To address the present issues, a microfluidic channel should be integrated into an electrochemical aptasensor and it is called Geometrically Activated Surface Interaction (GASI) chip. The vigorous generation of the micro-vortex in the GASI fluidic chamber provides the high collision chances between BPA and anti-BPA aptamer (BPAPT) and consequently more BPA molecules can be captured on the aptasensor surface, which finally results in high sensitivity of the aptasensor. To construct the integrated aptasensor, a miniaturized gold electrode is fabricated using shadow mask and e-beam evaporation process. Afterward, BPAPT is immobilized on a nanostructured gold electrode via thiol chemistry, and other terminus of the aptamer is labeled with a ferrocene (Fc) redox probe. Then, the microfluidic channel is mounted over the miniaturized gold electrode to introduce and enrich BPA to the aptasensor. Upon the specific interaction between BPA and its aptamer, configuration of aptamer is changed so that Fc tag approaches to the electrode surface and direct oxidation signal of Fc and BPA are followed as analytical signals. The unique microfluidic integrated electrochemical aptasensor delivers a wide linear dynamic range over 5 × 10<SUP>–12</SUP> to 1 × 10<SUP>−9</SUP> M, with a limit of detection 2 × 10<SUP>–13</SUP> M. This aptasensor provides a precise platform for simple, selective and more importantly rapid detection of BPA. Such kind of sensing platforms can serve as a fertile ground for designing miniaturized portable sensors.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> GASI generates micro-vortex resulting in enhanced capture of BPA and subsequently enhanced sensitivity of the aptasensor. </LI> <LI> The aptasensor has low LOD, wide linear dynamic range and good response time compared to conventional aptasensors. </LI> </UL> </P>

The main objective in conducting this study is to reveal the effects of multi-cultural education in the preschool setting through various cooking program activities, and finding what teaching methods are more appropriate and useful for our country's present situation -- in order for teachers to effectively implement a multi-cultural curriculum in the classroom. Thus, for this purpose of multi-cultural education, the Ewha University Preschool incorporated various cooking programs into their curriculum for a period of eight months and conducted their study in 6 separate classrooms: of children ranging from 3 to 5 years in age. As a result of the study, the following findings have been made. Firstly, the children developed a great sense of pride for ones own culture and also learned through the process of cooking that there are many similarities as well as differences within family culture, from country to country. Secondly, the children were able to experience a close connection of intimacy with different groups of people and various cultures. Thirdly, the children eventually became aware of the fact, that people in other countries are same human beings as people in our country, and that all people are alike. Fourthly, the children came to a realization that our country interacts with other countries by actively giving and receiving different forms of culture. Fifthly, while the children developed an understanding for the diversity amongst cultures, they also embraced a new respect towards other cultures as well. Sixthly, even the younger children found to be interested and enthusiastic in learning and participating in the multi-cultural projects. Therefore, in the first-line of teaching this study will be a useful reference for various teaching methods and contents for teachers to appropriately implement into their classrooms for the future.

Purification and Characterization of Catalase-2 from Deinococcus radiophilus

Oh, Kyung-A,Lee, Young-Nam Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biol 1998 Journal of biochemistry and molecular biology Vol.31 No.2

A bifunctional catalase-peroxidase, designated catalase-2, of a UV resistant Deinococcus radiophilus was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by both chromatographic and electrophoretic methods. Its molecular weight was 310 kDa and composed of a tetramer of 80 kDa subunits. The catalase-2 exerted its optimal activity at $30^{\circ}C$ and around pH 9. Its $K_m$ value for $H_{2}0_{2} $ was about 10 mM. It showed the typical ferric heme spectrum with maximum absorption at 403 nm which shifted to 419 nm in the presence of cyanide. The ratio of A40i' A2S0 was 0.48. Fifty percent inhibition of the enzyme activity was observed at $4.6{\times}10^{-6}$, $7.7{\times}10^{-6}$, and $3.0{\times}10^{-6}$ M of NaCN, $NaN_3$, and $NH_{2}OH$, respectively. The enzyme was thermostable and not sensitive to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole. Treatment of the enzyme with ethanol-chloroform caused a partial loss (30%) of its activity. The catalase-2 was distinct from the Deinococcal bifunctional catalase-3 in a number of properties, particularly in its molecular structure and substrate affinity.

We have experienced a case of radiation-induced coronary biostial stenosis presented with recurrent syncopal attack, which was confirmed by coronary angiography and pathologic findings. A 60 year-old woman was admitted with the symptoms of recurrent syncopal attack. She had a history of radiation therapy of the chest for lung neoplasm 15 years ago. Initial electrocardiogram showed transient high-degree A-V block followed by third-degree atrioventricular block which was associated with syncope. Echocardiography revealed mild aortic regurgitation without left ventricular dysfunction. The coronary angiogram revealed biostial stenosis of coronary arteries. Initial cardiac symptom subsided after temporary pacemaker implantation. She had a coronary bypass graft surgery on both coronary arteries using saphenous vein. Biopsy findings showed mild fibrosis with intimal thickening of coronary artery.
